Nasty C and Tellaman Blend Worlds on Their Smooth New Single, “Call Me”
When you talk about South African music royalty, Nsikayesizwe David Ngcobo—better known to the world as Nasty C—is in a lane of his own. Hailing from Durban, the multi-platinum, award-winning powerhouse has quietly crossed the massive milestone of over 1 billion streams globally.
True to his title as the “Coolest Kid in Africa” he backs up the hype every single time. Living by his favorite mantra—“I never chase the dream, I design it”—Nasty C treats his career with a level of intentionality and dedication that few can match.
Now, he’s back with a brand new drop, teaming up with his longtime creative partner Tellaman for a silky crossover single called “Call Me” taken straight off their collaborative project, T’s & C’s Apply.
Bridging the Gap: What Makes “Call Me” Work
Out through Tall Racks Music, “Call Me” isn’t just another song drop; it’s a masterclass in chemistry. By blending R&B textures, catchy pop sensibilities, and that distinct trapsoul edge, the track highlights just how effortless Nasty C and Tellaman’s synergy really is.
-
The Vibe: Tellaman leads the charge with velvet-smooth vocals, laying down an addictive hook and an effortless opening verse that instantly hooks you.
-
The Flow: Nasty C slides in on the second verse, dropping smooth, melodic bars that bridge the gap between heavy-hitting hip-hop and pure, soulful R&B.
As Tellaman puts it, the whole vibe of the project was about bringing different worlds together. “I’m more on the singing side, Junior’s more on the hip-hop side,” he explains. “We’re trying to merge those two and give the fans something dope.”
